KARACHI: Former emir of Jamaat-i-Islami Syed Munawar Hasan, who had passed away on Friday, was laid to rest at Sakhi Hasan graveyard on Saturday.

His funeral prayers were offered at Eidgah Ground in Nazimabad in the afternoon, which were led by JI chief Senator Sirajul Haq. Hundreds of people including senior political leaders, government functionaries, workers of the party and notables from different walks of life attended the funeral.

The 78-year-old JI stalwart was admitted to a private hospital in North Nazimabad a couple of weeks ago and since then was battling multiple diseases from which he had been suffering for the past few years.
